It is with great sadness that we inform you of the passing of one of our active Fire Company members. Firefighter Craig C. Spence, or Colby as he was known, lost his life this morning in an off-duty motor vehicle crash.

Colby joined the Company in 2017 as a young and bright high school student. Colby attended the Maryland Fire and Rescue Institute’s Vo-Tech program in 2018 as a junior, earning many certifications to jump start his volunteer career with our Company. Colby was a “go-getter” who was always willing to put in the work and eager to always learn more about the fire service.

Craig, Kim & Kayla, please know that we are here for you and are willing to assist where ever you feel necessary. Our hearts are broken with you. We are blessed to of had the opportunity to have your son and brother in our lives as a member of our Company.
